However, the Li/O loss and Li/Ni mixing under high-temperature lithiation result in electrochemical kinetic hysteresis and structural instability. Herein, we report a highly-ordered single-crystalline LiNi0.85Co0.05Mn0.10O2(NCM85) cathode by doping K+and F-ions. To be specific, the K-ion as a fluxing agent can remarkably decrease the solid-state lithiation temperature by ~30°C, leading to less Li/Ni mixing and oxygen vacancy. Meanwhile, the strong transitional metal(TM)-F bonds are helpful for enhancing de-/lithiation kinetics and limiting the lattice oxygen escape even at 4.5 V high-voltage. Their advantages synergistically endow the single-crystalline NCM85 cathode with a very high reversible capacity of 222.3 mAh g-1. A superior capacity retention of 91.3% is obtained after 500 times at 1 C in pouch-type full cells, and a prediction value of 75.3% is given after cycling for 5000 h. These findings are reckoned to expedite the exploitation and application of high-voltage single-crystalline Ni-rich cathodes for next-generation Li-ion batteries.展开更多

Herein, carbon cloth-supported TiO_(2)nanorod arrays are engineered as a model platform to explore photoelectrochemical synergy in integrated photo-rechargeable lithium-ion batteries(PRLiBs). Through operando characterizations and theory calculations, we found that photoexcitation lowers the Li^(+)migration barrier by 0.16 eV through electronic states redistribution near the Fermi level,thereby accelerating Li^(+)transport and enhancing the intercalation process during photo-assisted charging and discharging. Three key principles governing dual operational modes(light-assisted charge/discharge and pure light charging) are established for PRLiBs:(i) the capacity enhancement during photoassisted charging is primarily due to photocatalytic Li^(+)extraction via hole-driven oxidation at the TiO_(2)/electrolyte interface and electric double-layer reconstruction;(ii) the long-standing controversy in solar-to-electricity conversion efficiency(g) is resolved by introducing a polarization-decoupled model to quantify g, distinguishing genuine catalytic contributions from parasitic self-charging effects;and(iii)during light-only charging without external bias, the capacity increase is predominantly driven by the photocatalytic oxidation of the TiO_(2)photoelectrode, a single-electrode process without electron transfer through an external circuit, distinct from conventional dual-electrode charging. This work lays a solid theoretical foundation for understanding the mechanisms of PRLiBs and provides precise guidelines for g calculations, offering valuable insights for the future development of photo-energy storage devices.展开更多

In the CC-CV charge mode,the charger IC provides a constant charging current at the beginning, and then the charging current begins to decrease before the battery voltage reaches its final value. After the battery voltage reaches its final value and remains constant,the charging current is further reduced. This approach prevents charging the battery with full current near its saturated voltage,which can cause heating. The novel design of the core of the charger IC realizes the proposed CC-CV charge mode. The chip was implemented in a CSMC 0.6μm CMOS mixed signal process. The experimental results verify the realization of the proposed CC- CV charge mode. The voltage of the battery after charging is 4. 1833V.展开更多

Commercial LIBs have been widely used in portable electronic devices and are now developed for large-scale applications in hybrid electric vehicles （HEV） and stationary distributed power stations. However, due to the physical limits of the materials, the overall performance of today＇s LIBs does not meet all the requirements for future applications, and the transport problem has been one of the main barriers to further improvement. The electron and Li-ion transport behaviors are important in determining the rate capacity of LIBs.展开更多

The influences of doping Y on structure, morphology and electrochemical performance of cathode materials were investigated systematically. The results indicated that the mechanisms of Y doping in three cathode materials were different, so the influences on the material performance were different. The crystal structure of the three materials was not changed by Y doping. However, the crystal parameters were influenced. The crystal parameters of LiMn2O4 became smaller, and the interlayer distance of （100） crystal plane of Li1-xV3O8 was lengthened after Y doping. The grain size of Y-doped LiFePO4 became smaller and grain morphology became more regular than that of undoped LiFePO4. It indicated that Y doping had no influence on crystal particle and morphology of LiMn2O4. The morphology of Li1＋xV3O8 became irregular and its size became larger with the increase of Y. For LiFePOaand Li1＋xV3O8, both the initial discharge capacities and the cyclic performance were improved by Y doping. For LiMn2O4, the cyclic performance became better and the initial discharge capacities declined with increasing Y doping.展开更多

The morphology and electrochemical performances of as-prepared LiFePO4 were evaluated by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), charge-discharge test, electrochemical impedance spectroscope (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). CNTs contribute to the interconnection of the isolated LiFePO4 or carbon particles. For the CNTs-modified LiFePO4, it exhibits excellent performance in terms of both specific capacity and cycle life. The initial discharge capacity is 147.9 mA·h/g at 0.2C rate and 134.2 mA·h/g at 1C rate, keeping a capacity retention ratio of 97% after 50 cycles. The results from EIS indicate that the impedance value of the solid electrolyte interface decreases. The cyclic voltammetric peak profiles is more symmetric and spiculate and there are fewer peaks. CNTs are promising conductive additives candidate for high-power Li-ion batteries.展开更多

LiCoO2 was peeled from the Al foil with dimethyl acetamide （DMAC）, and then polyvinylidene fluoride （PVDF） and carbon powders in the active material were eliminated by high temperature calcining. Subsequently, Li2CO3, LiOH-H20 and LiAc-2H2O were added into the recycled powders to adjust the Li/Co molar ratio to 1.00. The new LiCoO2 was obtained by calcining the mixture at 850℃ for 12 h in air. The structure and morphology of the recycled powders and resulting samples were studied by XRD and SEM techniques, respectively. The layered structure of LiCoO2 synthesized by adding Li2CO3 is the best, and it is found to have the best characteristics as a cathode material in terms of charge-discharge capacity and cycling performance. The first discharge capacity is 160 mAh·g^-1 between 3.0-4.3 V. The discharge capacity after cycling for 50 times is still 145.2 mAh·g^-1.展开更多

文摘Developing cost-effective single-crystalline Ni-rich Co-poor cathodes operating at high-voltage is one of the most important ways to achieve higher energy Li-ion batteries. However, the Li/O loss and Li/Ni mixing under high-temperature lithiation result in electrochemical kinetic hysteresis and structural instability. Herein, we report a highly-ordered single-crystalline LiNi0.85Co0.05Mn0.10O2(NCM85) cathode by doping K+and F-ions. To be specific, the K-ion as a fluxing agent can remarkably decrease the solid-state lithiation temperature by ~30°C, leading to less Li/Ni mixing and oxygen vacancy. Meanwhile, the strong transitional metal(TM)-F bonds are helpful for enhancing de-/lithiation kinetics and limiting the lattice oxygen escape even at 4.5 V high-voltage. Their advantages synergistically endow the single-crystalline NCM85 cathode with a very high reversible capacity of 222.3 mAh g-1. A superior capacity retention of 91.3% is obtained after 500 times at 1 C in pouch-type full cells, and a prediction value of 75.3% is given after cycling for 5000 h. These findings are reckoned to expedite the exploitation and application of high-voltage single-crystalline Ni-rich cathodes for next-generation Li-ion batteries.

文摘The integration of photocatalysis with electrochemical energy storage offers promising solutions for offgrid power supply. Herein, carbon cloth-supported TiO_(2)nanorod arrays are engineered as a model platform to explore photoelectrochemical synergy in integrated photo-rechargeable lithium-ion batteries(PRLiBs). Through operando characterizations and theory calculations, we found that photoexcitation lowers the Li^(+)migration barrier by 0.16 eV through electronic states redistribution near the Fermi level,thereby accelerating Li^(+)transport and enhancing the intercalation process during photo-assisted charging and discharging. Three key principles governing dual operational modes(light-assisted charge/discharge and pure light charging) are established for PRLiBs:(i) the capacity enhancement during photoassisted charging is primarily due to photocatalytic Li^(+)extraction via hole-driven oxidation at the TiO_(2)/electrolyte interface and electric double-layer reconstruction;(ii) the long-standing controversy in solar-to-electricity conversion efficiency(g) is resolved by introducing a polarization-decoupled model to quantify g, distinguishing genuine catalytic contributions from parasitic self-charging effects;and(iii)during light-only charging without external bias, the capacity increase is predominantly driven by the photocatalytic oxidation of the TiO_(2)photoelectrode, a single-electrode process without electron transfer through an external circuit, distinct from conventional dual-electrode charging. This work lays a solid theoretical foundation for understanding the mechanisms of PRLiBs and provides precise guidelines for g calculations, offering valuable insights for the future development of photo-energy storage devices.

文摘Strategic fluorination of solvent,a prominent strategy to enhance the electrolyte oxidation resistance and engineer a robust cathode-electrolyte interface,is crucial for realizing high-voltage lithium-ion batteries.Actually,the adaptability of fluorinated solvents to high voltages is critically determined by the degree of fluorination and the fluorination site,yet lacks systematic design principles.Herein,we introduce a solvent screening descriptor based on ionization energy and Fukui function to assess molecular and site-specific reactivity.Computational and experimental results demonstrate that an optimal solvent with low ground-state energies and reactive sites is required as an ideal candidate for high-voltage electrolytes.Among derivatives from anisole,(trifluoromethoxy)benzene is identified as a superior candidate,enabling the formulation of a low reactivity solution(LPT)as electrolyte.Remarkably,the prepared Li‖LCO cell using LPT electrolyte maintained a high-capacity retention of 78.8%after 600 cycles at 4.5 V.In addition,the formation of an inorganic-rich interphase from LPT electrolyte effectively suppresses structural degradation to ensure a fast dynamic behavior.The utilization of LPT electrolyte also greatly reduces the amount of heat released and the production of O_(2)gas,which is favorable for addressing thermal runaway hazards.This screening strategy offers a practical approach for the design of flame-retardant high-voltage electrolytes.

文摘Sulfide-based all-solid-state lithium metal batteries(ASSLMBs)have garnered significant attention due to their potential for high energy density and enhanced safety.However,their practical application is hindered by challenges such as uneven lithium(Li)deposition and the growth of Li dendrites.In this contribution,we propose an amorphous fluorinated interphase(AFI),composed of amorphous LiF and lithiated graphite,to regulate the interfacial Li-ion transport kinetics through in-situ interface chemistry.Amorphous LiF,which exhibits a significantly enhanced Li-ion diffusion compared to its crystalline counterpart,works synergistically with lithiated graphite to promote both short-range and long-range Li-ion transport kinetics at the Li/electrolyte interface.As a result,the Li anode with AFI demonstrates a remarkably enhanced critical current density of 1.6 mA cm^(−2)and an extended cycle life exceeding 1100 h.The Li||LiNi_(0.6)Co_(0.2)Mn_(0.2)O_(2)full cell also achieves a high discharge capacity of 125.7 mA h g^(−1)and retains 71.2%of its initial capacity after 200 cycles.This work provides valuable insights into the rational design of artificial anodic interphase to regulate interfacial Li-ion transport kinetics in ASSLMBs.

文摘Increasing the charging cut-off voltage can significantly enhance the energy density of LiCoO_(2).However,the continuous deterioration of interface structure and transport kinetics under high voltage poses challenges to electrochemical stability.This work proposes to in-situ construct a uniform element gradient modification structure on the surface and subsurface of LiCoO_(2).The modification structure contains an Sb_(2)O_(3)&SbF_(x)composite coating layer and an Sb-F doped spinel-like transition layer,simultaneously.The modified sample maintains an initial discharge specific capacity of 221.2 mA h g^(-1)and a capacity retention of 86%after 200 cycles at 3–4.6 V and 0.5 C.Moreover,it has a discharge specific capacity of163.3 mA h g^(-1)at a high rate of 5 C.Meanwhile,combining highly electronegative Sb^(3+)&F^(-)that widen the Li^(+)transport channel with the amorphous coating of F^(-)doped Sb_(2)O_(3)with higher conductivity improves the interface transport kinetics.This breaks the stereotypical view in traditional concepts that fluorinated coatings or inert metal oxide coatings inhibit Li^(+)transport.Moreover,the inert composite coating combined with Sb–O–F with high bond energy stabilizes the surface structure.A series of characterizations confirm that the joint improvement of interface structure stability and transport kinetics significantly enhances the electrochemical performance of LiCoO_(2).

文摘It is of great importance to explore sustainable and eco-friendly recycling strategies for spent Li-ion batteries(LIBs).As such,the closed-loop resynthesis of LiNi_(x)CoyMn_(z)O_(2)(NCM)becomes recently popular as exemplified by the commercialization of low-and mid-Ni content NCM(33%-60%).However,there has been suspicion as to the successful deployment of Ni-rich NCM resynthesis process.Therefore,we systematically increase the Ni content of NCM from 60%to 90%from the industrial leachate of spent LIBs containing various metallic and nonmetallic impurities.The utilization rate of the leachate decreases from 71.8 mol%for NCM622 to 18.0 mol%for NCM955 as the Ni content in the NCM composition increases with the Co recycling rate being 100%in all resynthesized NCM(RNCM).The physicochemical and electrochemical properties of RNCM are systematically compared with its pristine NCM counterparts.As a result,various physicochemical properties of RNCM including impurity content,crystallographic information,morphology,particle size,porosity,specific surface area,elemental distribution,residual lithium compounds,and thermal stability are correlated with its electrochemical properties.It is found out that Al is the most critical impurity that determines the physicochemical and electrochemical properties of RNCM.It is noteworthy that RNCM955 prepared from spent LIBs without any purification step surpasses NCM955 in terms of rate and cycle performance.Further,this resynthesis approach toward Nirich NCM could meet the forthcoming 2031 EU's legislative target on the mandatory minimum recycling usage of valuable metals from spent LIBs.The anode active material was resynthesized using industrial leachate as the maximum.The amount of leachate used and the amount of impurities were proportional.

文摘Tailoring 1D nanotubes with refined interfacial interactions and optimized adsorption sites presents a highly promising yet challenging strategy for advancing Na/Li-ion batteries(SIBs/LIBs).Herein,the intertwined yardlong bean-like Fe_(9)Ni_(9)S_(16)/FeS heterostructures with sulfur vacancies encapsulated in N-doped carbon nanotubes(3 N-Fe_(9)Ni_(9)S_(16)/FeS-3@CNTs)are controllably synthesized through Fe/Ni-catalyzed pyrolysis of dicyandiamide followed by sulfidation strategies.1D nanotubes with robust outer walls and internal cavity structures shorten the diffusion paths of ions/electrons and buffer volume expansion and aggregation of active materials.The Fe_(9)Ni_(9)S_(16)/FeS heterostructure provides a powerful driving force for charge transfer by forming built-in electric fields,optimizing ion adsorption,while the Fe_(9)Ni_(9)S_(16)features a wider interlayer spacing that allows for frequent Na+/Li+insertion and extraction,thereby enhancing the reaction kinetics within the electrode.Driven by these synergistic factors,the 3 N-Fe_(9)Ni_(9)S_(16)/FeS-3@CNTs demonstrates remarkable electrochemical performance,achieving a substantial reversible capacity of up to 682.1mA h g^(−1)for SIBs at 0.1 A g^(−1)and 782.7 mA h g^(−1)for LIBs at 0.5 A g−1,alongside exceptional cycling stability in SIBs,maintaining 78.7%of its capacity after 1500 cycles at 1 A g^(−1)coupling with the ether-based electrolyte.Employing various electrochemical analyses in conjunction with ex-situ characterization techniques and Density Functional Theory(DFT)calculations,the storage mechanisms and phase transition processes are investigated,elucidating the structure-composition-performance relationships.This work paves the way for a new strategy in designing advanced materials with engineered heterostructures and controllable defects for energy conversion and storage devices.
文摘A design for a Li-ion battery charger IC that can operate in a constant current-constant voltage （CC- CV） charge mode is proposed. In the CC-CV charge mode,the charger IC provides a constant charging current at the beginning, and then the charging current begins to decrease before the battery voltage reaches its final value. After the battery voltage reaches its final value and remains constant,the charging current is further reduced. This approach prevents charging the battery with full current near its saturated voltage,which can cause heating. The novel design of the core of the charger IC realizes the proposed CC-CV charge mode. The chip was implemented in a CSMC 0.6μm CMOS mixed signal process. The experimental results verify the realization of the proposed CC- CV charge mode. The voltage of the battery after charging is 4. 1833V.

文摘The physics of ionic and electrical conduction at electrode materials of lithium-ion batteries （LIBs） are briefly sum marized here, besides, we review the current research on ionic and electrical conduction in electrode material incorporating experimental and simulation studies. Commercial LIBs have been widely used in portable electronic devices and are now developed for large-scale applications in hybrid electric vehicles （HEV） and stationary distributed power stations. However, due to the physical limits of the materials, the overall performance of today＇s LIBs does not meet all the requirements for future applications, and the transport problem has been one of the main barriers to further improvement. The electron and Li-ion transport behaviors are important in determining the rate capacity of LIBs.
文摘Modification of LiFePO4, LiMn2O4 and Li1＋xV3O8 by doping yttrium was investigated. The influences of doping Y on structure, morphology and electrochemical performance of cathode materials were investigated systematically. The results indicated that the mechanisms of Y doping in three cathode materials were different, so the influences on the material performance were different. The crystal structure of the three materials was not changed by Y doping. However, the crystal parameters were influenced. The crystal parameters of LiMn2O4 became smaller, and the interlayer distance of （100） crystal plane of Li1-xV3O8 was lengthened after Y doping. The grain size of Y-doped LiFePO4 became smaller and grain morphology became more regular than that of undoped LiFePO4. It indicated that Y doping had no influence on crystal particle and morphology of LiMn2O4. The morphology of Li1＋xV3O8 became irregular and its size became larger with the increase of Y. For LiFePOaand Li1＋xV3O8, both the initial discharge capacities and the cyclic performance were improved by Y doping. For LiMn2O4, the cyclic performance became better and the initial discharge capacities declined with increasing Y doping.

文摘Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and acetylene black (AB) were dispersed synchronously or separately between LiFePO4 (LFP) particles as conducting agents during the course of manufacture of LiFePO4 cathodes. The morphology and electrochemical performances of as-prepared LiFePO4 were evaluated by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), charge-discharge test, electrochemical impedance spectroscope (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). CNTs contribute to the interconnection of the isolated LiFePO4 or carbon particles. For the CNTs-modified LiFePO4, it exhibits excellent performance in terms of both specific capacity and cycle life. The initial discharge capacity is 147.9 mA·h/g at 0.2C rate and 134.2 mA·h/g at 1C rate, keeping a capacity retention ratio of 97% after 50 cycles. The results from EIS indicate that the impedance value of the solid electrolyte interface decreases. The cyclic voltammetric peak profiles is more symmetric and spiculate and there are fewer peaks. CNTs are promising conductive additives candidate for high-power Li-ion batteries.

文摘A new LiCoO2 recovery technology for Li-ion batteries was studied in this paper. LiCoO2 was peeled from the Al foil with dimethyl acetamide （DMAC）, and then polyvinylidene fluoride （PVDF） and carbon powders in the active material were eliminated by high temperature calcining. Subsequently, Li2CO3, LiOH-H20 and LiAc-2H2O were added into the recycled powders to adjust the Li/Co molar ratio to 1.00. The new LiCoO2 was obtained by calcining the mixture at 850℃ for 12 h in air. The structure and morphology of the recycled powders and resulting samples were studied by XRD and SEM techniques, respectively. The layered structure of LiCoO2 synthesized by adding Li2CO3 is the best, and it is found to have the best characteristics as a cathode material in terms of charge-discharge capacity and cycling performance. The first discharge capacity is 160 mAh·g^-1 between 3.0-4.3 V. The discharge capacity after cycling for 50 times is still 145.2 mAh·g^-1.
